Stanek weekend question I: Which five deceased people from the other side would you most like to have dinner with?
This the second half to last weekend’s question, which asked which five living people from the other side would you most like to have dinner with.
So which five people from the other side of the abortion divide who are now deceased would you most like to spend an evening with?
I can only think of four at this time, but I probably couldn’t even handle this bunch around one table. In alpha order:
Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun, Adolf Hitler, Margaret Sanger, and George Tiller

Weekend question |
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Margaret Sanger (of course)
Molly Yard (the Quaker Oats Man)
George Tiller
Adolf Hitler (So Margaret would have someone to talk to)
Havelock Ellis (So Margaret could be reunited with her paramour)
1) Mother Teresa, 2) at least one of my slave ancestors, 3) my brother who never got to be born 4) Dietrich Bonhoeffer 5) Martin Luther King.
Why on earth would you want to talk to Hitler, Jill?
This question was about people on the “other side” of the philosophical divide who have already passed on, so I assume that’s why Hitler is listed.
phillymiss, the question is “which five people from the ‘other side’” would you like to invite to dinner. I am not sure you understood; she didn’t mean which five dead people, she meant which five people on the other side of the idealogical divide.
Yikes – how horrible would it be eating with a bunch of dead people…the smell, the lack of conversation. Sounds awful.
Try really hard to at least activate the portion of your brain which governs imagination, RINO, and pretend for a moment you could bring them back to life intact. 9_9
Oh, we get to bring them back to life as well?! Excellent. Do they die immediately after the dinner? These things need much more explanation! :-)
I’m taking 7. Hey, if we can bring them back to life, I’m extending it by two!
Harry Blackmun
William Brennan
Warren Burger
William Douglas
Thurgood Marshall
Lewis Powell
Potter Stewart
Whoops, my bad!
I have read that Margaret Sanger opposed abortion and that she promoted contraception in large part to stop abortion. She supposedly had heard from married women that husbands wouldn’t practice abstinence.
Jill,
I think your list would better be described as being in omega order! :)
Ex-GOP,
Since you’re naming black-robed dinner partners, how could you forget the Grim Reaper? :)
I think I’ll pass. If they haven’t seen the light by then, I won’t be able to change their minds.
My baby Ray, Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, St. Philomena, Blessed Seelos, – why?…because they are great examples and could teach me about the eternal life so that I could live out my life on earth in an enlightened fashion which is the best way to help others and the world.
live people . no thanks…can’t change their mind except thru prayer.
Although biography and history are favorite studies for me, I really do not have a desire to communicate with any pro-abortion on notoriously sinful people on the other side of death; unless, possibly, we could meet in God’s eternal kingdom based upon their repentance and via the grace of Jesus Christ for both them and myself that would enable the possibility of such a meeting. But I would prefer to seek out godly people that I have read about or studied (including some of the persons in Holy Scripture), or friends and loved ones I have known. At least that is my sense of things as I still dwell on this side of the veil.
For Mr. Banner: A few years ago, I set myself the project of reading the Bible cover to cover from the first “In the beginning” of Genesis to the final “Amen” of Revelation. I completed the project and found it very interesting.
Adolf Hitler doesn’t belong on EITHER side of the abortion issue. He talked about encouraging abortion among “slavs” but made it a severe crime for those considered “aryans.” In fact, a Frenchwoman received the death penalty and was executed for performing abortions while France was occupied by Germany during WWII.
Wow. Somebody needs to get off wikipedia and crack a real book.
I would go back in a time machine, have dinner with Hitler when he was a young art student, flatter him with all the phony praise I could spit out, and send him on an art retreat after buying up all his mediocre paintings. To those that would go back and shoot him to prevent WWII: you have no imagination.
I would add two people:
1. Bernard Nathanson (before his conversion to prolife). His book “The Hand of God” was a dark and creepy portrayal of who he used to be.
2. A client that I met at my pregnancy care center many years ago. I met her while she was pregnant with child #9 but was giving birth to child #2. We never had time during our session to get into the deep reasons why she aborted 7 of her children.
LL
I would not want to meet any of them. They have made their choices, they have repented or not, and they are now reaping their just rewards. So what is the point? Live people from the “other side?” That would be worth it.
I would add Marie Stopes to that list. By the way Denise Noe, would some one who is opposed to abortion say “The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”?
